Tech giant Apple is reportedly being sued by a Washington nonprofit group in federal court that is demanding that the company remove the encrypted messaging app Telegram from its app store.
The Washington Post reports that a Washington nonprofit group called the Coalition for a Safer Web has sued tech giant Apple in federal court. The lawsuit, filed on Sunday, demands that the chat and social media app Telegram be removed from Apple’s App Store for failing to crack down on extremist conversation on its platform following protests at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Is the “Coalition for a Safer Internet” secretly run by Facebook and Twitter, as well? Must be nice to have no competition.
What a flaming idiot. If the judge was sane they would toss this with prejudice and sanction the filer for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
Just another "crisis" created by the Democrats for the purpose of taking advantage of it.
Cell phones should be outlawed because extremists use cell phones.
We should all file lawsuits against this idiot, claiming that their filing caused negligent infliction of emotional distress . Whaaaaah.
Apple will do it.
Hong Kongese used it to get around Communist Chinese monitoring.
Conservatives should use it to get around Demonrat monitoring
This stinks to high heaven of leftist collusion. This is how they advance their evil agenda. They bring up some bogus case before an Obama judge who then legislates from the bench. I bet everyone involved already has the script and their assigned roles.
Are there alternatives to the Apple app store? There are quite a few alternative to Google for Android.
Anyway, that shouldn’t stop people from getting the Telegram app. If the apps can install like Android apps, the file or files could be hosted by Telegram and/or other app sites.
Imagine that. They have standing to sue.
James Comey was lobbying hard against encryption as FBI Director. His successors McCabe (Acting) and Wray continued his disregard for the Fourth Amendment.

Not unless you jailbreak your phone. And that has the potential of breaking a lot of things and bricking your phone.
Even if you don’t use the Apps, download Telegraph and Signal before they are removed from existence.....
How do they have “standing” to bring such a suit?
They are out to silence and destroy every business they don’t agree with. This is frightening stuff. Pretty much what the CCP is doing to Hong Kong
Deeper Demoncrats all..
So how do they have “standing”?
This is just dumb.
Another reason to never buy an Apple product.
I’m not too keen on Samsung this morning.
I just got notification that Samsung would brick the cell phone that I bought and paid for if I refuse to install their update.
